HIS generation can claim its own
Day of Infamy. It’s been seared in our collective consciousness
ever since September 11, 2001, when Islamist terrorists attacked
the World Trade Center, predominant symbol of the endurance of
American life in the 21st century.

In recent years as I covered the
celebrity/social world I carried a small flag in my camera bag.
Many of the personalities I photographed at charity benefits,
showbiz parties and gala events posed with pride as they held
this iconic symbol of the American way of life in the spirit of
Never Forget.
